We had multiple confrontations/discussions about what happened. I owned up to my part of the breakdown in communication between us. He didn't know how much I struggled through my second pregnancy, how hard I had to work to stay out of the hospital for the last 15 weeks of it, and how hard it was for me after our second son was born. I didn't want to burden him with it, he had enough going on at the time. I apologized for the fact that he felt like he was unwanted by me. After talking to my counselor It dawned on me that Jimmy C has some huge unresolved issues about not being wanted by his dad, I think the two were tied tightly together emotionally for him.
We had a number of discussions, but I have no recollection of him ever apologizing for his part in this, for hurting me, for breaking my trust. He made steps behavior wise in the right direction, but I don't recall ever hearing the words.
